Comment by Wendi Beck on July 23, 2009 at 3:06pm: I have been trying to track down information about the Dean Family in Pineville Kentucy for a long time and can barely find records on the people I grew up around much less anyone before them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My Great Grandmothers name was Kate Dean. Her husband I have only ever heard refered to as papaw Dean though I do have the names of several of their children upon request.

Comment by Kay Adkins on July 23, 2009 at 1:40pm: Betty Jo, so sorry your husband and mother aren't well. Wish I lived in Kentucky or had a trip planned to that area so I could help you out! We've tracked my husband's family through Missouri and know they go back to Kentucky, but haven't gotten in too deep there yet. You can try contacting the local historical society. When I needed some documentation for my DAR application, for a small donation I was able to get current photos of an ancestors gravestone sent to me from the historical society. One generalization you can make about historical societies: They have wonderful staff and volunteers. Or a local genealogy club member might take on the job.
